It is worth A Watch
I always come to MDL for review before I watch a show and for the majority the people doing the reviews are on point. I have skipped shows because you guys said it sucked. But on this one I am sorry I have to disagree with the low ratings. No, it is not the greatest show or even a show that is worth a rewatch ( unlessyou are absolutely bored) but it is worth a watch.From my point:
Story: Elise is a boss who I think his ego ( not his heart) got hurt when the man he was dating, Run, cheated on him. So, he stepped into a friend with benefits relationship with Khim. Then he meets Pat, who stirred his heart and brought out his true feelings of love but he is scared of putting his heart out to Pat because he dont know what to expect from Pat ( who is madly in love with him). He know what to expect from Khim ( comfort and a booty call) and from Run ( got cheated on). So when Pat told him he like him he became overly protected ( jealous and annoying) but still reserved because he stopped sleeping with Khim but used him for comfort, which Khim allows because he is also in love with Elise.
Pat on the other hand is a man who is in 5une with his feelings and self worth but is also a mon who is madly in ove with Elise and knows only what he sees the relationship is with Elise and Khim, so when Elise give him an opening he steps in and bears his heart and when Khim comes around he step back because he feels that's what Elise wants and he wants to be happy for him.
What makes Elise the bad guy is, he knows he love Pat, and Pat loves him but because of his ego he shows him instead of telling him which confuses and hurt Pat. Elise's actions are confusing especially when he hangs out with Khim (just eating and drinking) and Pat dont know what they are doing and Elise does not clarify, until he almost lost Pat.
The overall story is typical and the other characters are people who just don't understand the word "No".
But the show is an ok watch, they are worst.

A great storyline ruined by actors
Okay so I have never ever felt someone's acting was bad... But this show just broke that streak of mine oh my god both Elyes and Pat their acting is literally the worst.They are the perfect example for "Not every good looking person can be an actor 😔" I liked the plot so I tried watching it convincing myself that it will get better but I just can't go forward after 9th episode because of the bad acting by both the leads it's really hectic to watch after that..
In short they ruined a great bl with bad casting just my opinion

First review cause of slander
I honestly almost didn't watch this one for the slander. Did some of the low reviews even watch the same drama? I mean sure Elyes was a promiscuous at the beginning, but he is single? So? Neither of the Main Leads fell for each other at the beginning. It took at the least 3 years for both of them. Elyes was only promiscuous cause of a broken heart but even if he wasn't I don't begrudge people that live that lifestyle as long as they are honest with their partners and aren't leading anyone on, and my man was clear with everyone, bluntly so. They were FWB's. The only questionable behavior from Elyes imo is when he finally realize his feelings and in his jealousy/ or wanting get a rise out of Pat, rubbed his nightlife if in front of Pat's face.BUT after he actually did the deed with Pat he stop everyone else cold turkey. So he never cheated on Pat even though technically they weren't even together. Everything was slow and consensual too.
Now can I complain about Elyes close mouth with his feelings, sure. He could explain things that could be misunderstood more to Pat.
Could Pat be a little more firm in his decisions or not jump to conclusions so quickly. Also sure.
They aren't perfect people which makes them human. They don't see the whole story like we do, so honestly a lot of the decisions they made, made sense even if it's imperfect.
This was a well written and pretty well paced drama. Is it the best drama ever? No. But it's very solid. Lots of sweet and endearing moments led by both main leads. I enjoyed the banter and flirting.
Rewatch value is a little lower cause the plot was just okay. So it's one of those if I have nothing else to watch I might rewatch again once every other year or so. But I could rewatch it and still enjoy it.

only for those who are really bored
For some reason, the filming technique is not easy on my eyes, maybe the filters they applied are weird. Usually i wouldnt be bothered by this, but there is little to zero action on the screen so my mind keeps rambling. I've been watching so far just for the handsome ML, but theres nothing beside that... A lot of staring, a lot of going around in circles, annoying flashbacks, unwitty bickering, and no illusion of life - everything is the definition of fake.Looking for something better.

Were IMDB tripping when they rated this drama?
The acting is horrible. The music is as disappointing as it is in most BLs, if not more so. The story is nothing special. It is like all the other mostly subpar Thai BLs out there. The dialogues are nothing special either. Overall, the drama is disappointing and overrated. Still waiting for a perfect BL that deserves a high IMDB rating because most of them ain't it!Was this review helpful to you?
Perfect series!!!
Perfect series!!! Great script, great actors and good music. Waiting frantically from episode to episode. Highly recommended!!!The story is constantly moving forward... in my opinion it is never boring for a moment and there is always something new that is discovered and much that has not yet been discovered. Very intriguing!!!
The main couple are stunning together!! The chemistry between them drives the viewers crazy!!! You see that Alice loves Pat very much, but is stuck in his trauma from the relationship he had with Run... and this is expressed in a lack of communication between the two.
In addition to that, I really liked that the story got more and more intriguing!!! I like that unlike other series, in this series the secondary characters are not frozen and banal but actually take part in the mysterious story.
Highly recommended!!!!

It was like watching a car crash but I still loved it idc
Where do I start with this disaster? 😭Let's just say, objectively speaking, ITS NOT GOOD, but I love it way more than I would like to admit, its PEAK trash TV and I was SAT every week loving this mess and getting frustrated with both Pat and Elyes.
Maybe its bcs I grew up on trashy melodramatic soap operas but I WAS LIVING for this
Is it bad? Yes
Is the acting good? Not really
Will you want to push Elyes down a flight of stairs? Yes
Was half of the love drama necessary? No lmao
Do I love this? YES
Do I want more of these two? YES
Would I rewatch this disaster? YES
Conclusion: This is Unforgotten Night 2.0, so bad its somehow good, camp at its finest and I'm not 100% sure whether I mean it as an insult or compliment

I dropped it ASAP
It's my first review in here to tell you to please skip this one.True, I didn't manage to finish the first ep. I made it until 20/30 minutes and that was it.
The first sex scene has a soundtrack so loud and so bad it's like you're in a bad disco dancing to whatever because you're loaded. I can't say much but everything in here is a cliché by now and I've watched waaay too many series of this genre to stand here pretending this was good.
Afhhhh

Horrible acting and even more horrible writing
So like a Thai BL take at What's Wrong With Secretary Kim but give it an embarrassingly bad script and make it so the boss has no redeeming quality other than his looks. Also just horrible writing overall. Tell me why they have like 10 restaurant meals in 1 episode. Was that necessary? The writer couldn't think of any other place where the characters can interact? I feel like I already watched 20 episodes with all the different restaurant scenes there was packed in one ep lol.Also, the actor for the boss is just downright horrible at acting. There's no defending it I'm sorry. Sometimes the cast saves a shockingly horribly written drama and this isn't one of those.
I thought maybe this might be one of those shows where it picks up on later episodes but seeing the reviews I don't think I'll be missing out on anything by skipping on this show.

Entendo as críticas, mas mesmo com todos os problemas, me diverti muito assistindo a série, que serviu muito entretenimento com suas situações surreais. Gostei da química entre os personagens, das belas paisagens, da fotografia e da trilha sonora. Não é uma obra-prima, mas também não considero que seja tão ruim assim. Was this review helpful to you?
Une série divertissante qui devient ennuyeuse
Le début était génial : un secrétaire fou amoureux de son chef alors qu'il sait pertinemment que ce n'est une bonne personne et qui a suffisamment de caractère pour lui tenir tête quand c'est nécessaire. Malheureusement, la série tourne en rond et on finit par se lasser des conflits qui, au final, sont les mêmes. Le couple secondaire aurait mérité plus de temps d'écran car eux aussi avaient de sérieux problèmes à régler et leur histoire était intéressante.Was this review helpful to you?
